You guys!!!! I might be behind the times but this is the best thing since buttered bread!! ⠀ ⠀ I’ve had the @fitbit Alta for about 3 years and loved it! So when I came home and was surprised with the Charge 3 ....yes I squealed in delight! I’m sure my neighbors heard me! 😂⠀ ⠀ Do you guys use fitness trackers?! ⠀ ⠀ P.S. let’s be Fitbit buddies!!! ⠀ ⠀ #fitbitfriend #fitbitcharge3 #fitbitfam #fitbitcommunity #fitbit #fitbitcharge #fitbitsteps #fitbitfriends #trackyourfitness #fitnesstrackers #momstrong #momswholift #momssupportingmoms #momswithmuscles #momslove #momsnightout #postpartumworkouts #postpartumdepression #postpartumhealing #postpartumbelly #postpartumcare #postpartumweightlossjourney #fitchicksrock #fitchicksrule #fitchicksdoitbetter #beachbodyworkouts #beachbody #beachbodyready #beachbodylife #beachbodycoaching

Do you ever think to yourself THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE? ⠀ ⠀ Take that and put it on repeat every.single.day. That’s how I was living, with a daily struggle and mental battle with pain and anxiety. Somedays felt like I was losing the battle. Don’t get me wrong I have so many blessing and joy in life. Things I am grateful for. But even the most grateful people can struggle. ⠀ ⠀ If you’re new here you may not know but I have battled chronic pain, anxiety, and a lovely thing called PTSD for 10 years. I’m here to tell you it isn’t all rainbows and sunshine every day! I know many of you who I now call friends and fellowship with because you have opened up to me about your own trauma and struggles. It’s a huge weight off my shoulders knowing I can share with you. I’ve found an amazing community of people who are uplifting. No judgement, no ridicule. Just plain and simple openness and support. It truly feels like we are all in this together. I’ve walked in the highs and the lows and want you to know you never have to go it alone. ⠀ ⠀ I’m on year 10 with my anxiety and panic attacks. You never “get used” to it either. Just when you think you have your anxiety in check and your triggers recognized BOOM! 💥 Anxiety kicks down the door and strolls right in unannounced with a loud reverberating “I’M BACK!!!” ⠀ ⠀ This picture was taken as I sat there in pain in a room by myself and afraid. Pain can be a trigger for those of us who struggle with anxiety. Not to mention poor sleep, certain situations, reading or watching something on T.V., just driving in your car....the list goes on! This day was pretty much the crappiest day BUT I still found things to be grateful for and as I sit here writing this I couldn’t help but feel inclined to let you all know we aren’t alone, we are all suffering from life’s curve balls it throws at us! BE KIND to yourself. Be quick to FORGIVE yourself. Don’t let yesterday own who you are. Don’t hold yourself up to impossible standards or worse compare your journey to someone else’s. We are all traveling down different paths. Let’s show one another love and grace. I’m here to support you. ⠀ LOVE yourself today and everyday! ⠀ ⠀ Xo⠀ Sierra⠀

And every year to follow... ❤️⠀ ⠀ “I’ve grown tremendously in my faith but I’m so far from where I would like to be” <— that USED to be my perspective BUT I’ve realized every single day is not a step backward or forward when it comes to faith and a relationship with God. He’s always there and always constant. I’ve opened my mind and heart to see that each day is a learning and growing experience spiritually IF I ALLOW IT TO BE. ⠀ ⠀ That’s just it, a lot of us have allowed God in our hearts and need to continue to allow ourselves to be open to his presence in even the smallest things that may seem mundane but are truly gifts and life lessons we receive every day.⠀ ⠀ I’ve always been close to God because he’s always been right there. I just never knew how to open my heart and my eyes to him. ❤️ Still learning each day 😉 ⠀ ⠀ I am and forever will be HIS companion. ⠀ ⠀ ( regram from @hertrueworth ) ⠀ #mybeautifulsimplicity #godisbigger #godisreal #godiswithyou #godislove❤️ #godisgood #godisnotdead #godisenough #godisfaithful #livelifelovelife #healthymomsthinkalike #healthymomsinspire #healthymomsonthego #healthymomstoday #spiritualentrepreneur #spiritualevolution #spiritual #spiritualized #spiritualcommunity #spiritualjourney #spiritualenlightenment #spiritualdevelopment #spiritualknowledge #spiritualbeings #spiritualinspiration #spiritualhealer #honestmomconfessions #honestparenting #mybeautifulsimplicity #livelifelovelife

Meal prep is so HARD y’all and I’m definitely no pro but here are a few tips that have really helped me stay on my meal plan!⠀ ⠀ 1. Prep everything ahead of time. Sunday’s are usually the best days (for me).⠀ ⠀ 2. Make your grocery list before heading out to the grocery store. That way you buy only what’s on your list. I love that I have a pre planned food list at my fingertips! ⠀ ⠀ 3. Only keep the food that’s on your meal plan in your kitchen. That way you aren’t tempted when those late night cravings hit! ⠀ ⠀ If you have any tips I’d love to hear! 👇🏼 ⠀ ⠀ #fitmommyinprogress #mommyfit #fitmommylife #fitmommyinthemaking #mealprepster #mealpreponfleek #mealprepmadeeasy #mealpreplife #mealprep #hotmomma #craftymomma #healthy-choices #mommabear #mommalife #mommalove #workingmomma #healthychoices #livelifetothefullest #fitmommyof3 #healthyeatsliving #healthyeatingplate #healthyeating101 #healthyeatingweek #healthyeatinghabits #healthyeatingplan #healthyeatings #healthyeatingrecipes #healthyeatting #healthyeatingmotivation #healthyeatingtips

TIME MANAGEMENT. How do I have time to work 40 hours a week, take care of 3 kids and their activities, and run 3 businesses. Honestly!? It’s all about time management. The small things I do to help save time and energy also save me from any unnecessary stress throughout the week. ⠀ ⠀ Here are some things that I do that may seem small or trivial but really add up!!⠀ ⠀ 1. LAY OUT YOUR CLOTHES FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK! This includes the kids school outfits and your gym outfits too!!!⠀ ⠀ 2. PREP LUNCHES AND SNACKS. This literally is an extra step I already work into my grocery shopping. What I do is as I’m unloading groceries I’ll take (for example) a bag of carrots and portion them put into zip lock baggies. I do this with all of our fruits and veggies that way they are easy to grab and go! And they are already in portion sizes! ⠀ ⠀ 3. LEFTOVERS! Yes leftovers save me time and energy. After dinner I’ll immediately pack leftovers into small containers so they can be frozen or used for lunches the next day. This saves a ton of time on prepping lunches not mention saving money on eating out!⠀ ⠀ 4. KEEP A CALENDAR. I keep my calendar with me every where I go! That way when there is a last minute appointment or booking I immediately add it in the calendar. Psst...my secret weapon here is I NEVER schedule more than 2 things on any given day. This keeps me from getting burnout and overwhelmed. ⠀ ⠀ 5. SET TIMERS AND LIMIT YOURSELF. Yep! I totally set timers for things (social media, TV, even cleaning) I find if I assign a block of time for any one thing I won’t find myself getting sucked into the amazing world of Pinterest or doing laundry for 4 hours at a time! ⠀ ⠀ 6. Lastly, PREPLAN if you can! I like to preplan what projects I’ll be working on for that week and finishing up blog posts or photo shoot themes well in advance. This takes a way a lot of stress and keeps me on track. ⠀ ⠀
